I used the "Kernel compiling for newbies" thread to do my first kernel compile and upon me using the make install command, it came up w/ these errors..

Also upon me using the make modules, it comes up w/ these errors..

Is there ways of fixing this or does it matter..? Any help is appreciated,

Ash

Try compiling your kernel as root.

How do I make it to where I boot from lilo instead of a boot disk?

Ash

I mean, compile your kernel as root, the user, not boot.

Basically it's the same as what you've done... but before you actually do anything, just type su and enter the root password.

I assume you know that root is the super-user/admin in a Linux system, right?

Yes I realize.. I was asking a different question though.. could you help me with that?
